We stayed two nights in November at Hacra, with Gemar Singh, during 5 weeks travelling in India. We chose this project in the Thar Desert because we wanted a more authentic less ‘touristy’ experience - and to support the ethos of the Hacra project. Gemar’s passion and enthusiasm gave us real insights into the landscape and culture, and we loved... More

Just got back from a 2 night desert experience with Gemar Singh and Govind from HACRA community and all I can say is what a fantastic time we were shown! We feel this was such a genuine and insightful time and exploring the desert communities along side both our guides could not have been carried out in a more gentle... More

While on a trip to India with some friends, we decided that we would try to see as much of North India as possible. We had already been to many of the 'tourist' places, and decided that we wanted a taste of what the 'real India' has to offer. We arrived at Jodhpur airport where Gemar was waiting for us.... More

Gemar actually organized our family holiday (End December 2010 January2011) completely. We gave him some travel dates, of our some accommodation options and left it to him. His communication was swift, professional and with knowing guidance in selections. We (parents mid 50's and two teenage 15&17 girls) chose to travel by guided private car giving us time space to do... More

I had the pleasure to spend two nights with Gemar Singh in the desert. The first night was spent sleeping under the stars and the second night was at his beautiful compound where his lovely wife and son live.I will begin this review with some constructive criticism. I am a photographer and so my primary goal (after simply experiencing life)... More

This was one of the best stays of our India holiday. Gemar Singh and his family were so welcoming, Germa knew so much about birds etc around his village. The camel ride was great, so calm after the Indian cities! Lunch at the Camel mans house (I have a really bad memory for names) was great, as was the evening... More

Gemar Singh couldn't do enough to help make our stay comfortable and a truly wonderful desert experience. i recently broke my toe and was unable to ride on a camel so he provided a camel cart so that I could enjoy the experience along with my party. He was particularly solicitous once we had reached the camp ensuring that I... More

Our family of 4 spent the night at Gemar's house in the middle of your 18 day tour of Rajasthan. On Jan. 6th we drove out from Jodhpur and met Gemar at the home of Corbin (I hope I am spelling his name right) one of the camel guides. Corbin's wife cooked us a wonderful lunch and we sat around...

I think we both found this a bit disappointing, the camel ride was really good but the whole experience was a bit disorganised. We had paid for the overnight camel/village experience which begun with a 3 hour camel ride – this was really good as it went along a dirt road and you could see life going on. At the... More
